Tuesday last was frightful day and
one to be remembered by surviving friends
OF horrible railroad accidents. On that
day over ole hundred persons were Killed
in the several states and II large number
wounded, The frighlinl accident on the
Il. & o near Republic on that morning
seems to have been the most terrible OF
this f.tal day TO human life. Twenty
were killed aud burned TO death and n
large number wounded. The accident
was caused by freight train getting
suck in the snow and passenger train
running into it at full rate OF speed, An
investigation of the cause OF this sad cal
amity is in progress. and it is hoped the
guilt may he fully located.

y writer in an eastern agricultural
journal gives the following: "a twin
relic of barbarism is the notion that
the moon exercises an influence on the
weather and on the result of various
operations, such as planting seeds,
butcher.ng hogs etc. Observations con-
Quoted with great care for long periods
of time together have shown that the

dry moons and wet moons is all moon

pork from swine killed when the moon
is shrinking, perhaps can better illus

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Young Mems Christian Association

Young Mems Christian Association.
The regular monthly business social and
reception of new members was held last
evening, and was, as is usual at these gath
erings. very pleasant affair. There was a
large attendance of young men, and sew
eral ladies of the Central Committee were
also present. G. II. Dunn presided, and the
reports presented, especially those from the
Devotional, Visitation of the Sick. EN-
ployment, and Gymnasium Committees
showed that the Association is doing a good
work among the young men of the CITY.
The Employment Department is growing
in favor among business men in search Of
reliable help, and the demand has been
greater then the supply. Nine young men
were elected members of the Association.
and received a cordial welcome After the
routine business, a conversation was held
in regard to the Association, its aim and
objects. One said its aim was not so much
10 reform a young man after he has gone
astray-though it did all it could IN that d.
rection-as 70 prevent young men from 60
ing astray. Another said it was not meant
to be clubhouse for swells, nor a refuge
for tramps; but it was designed for all
young men who are willing to associate
their efforts for the welfare of their COM
rades. Others spoke of the help the Asso-
citation had been to them in various WAYS.
At the close, refreshments were served by
the ladies and an hour spent socially and
IN the gymnasium.

Woodland is quite town, and the two

Capital is a little too far from the county
seat of Yolo in their opinion ever to

l a OAeAa1 A<ooSC anu lue6Ilngs
Last evening very large assemblage Of
/; the Independent Order of Odd Fellows
met in general convention under the au-
spices of District No. 3, it being the night
of Capitol Lodge meeting. The work was
done by the officers of Lodge No. I57, who
were invited to perform the work, and did
it well. Elwood Bruner, Grand Master,
K. II. Lloyd, Deputy Grand Master, @. E.
jenkins, Grand Warden, w. B. Lyon,
Grand Secretary, W. f. Norcross, Grand
Marshal editor of the Ne1U Age, and other
Grand Officers were present. A special
session of the Grand Lodge was held, at
which large number of Past Grands of
the order received the Grand Lodge Degree.
which was conferred by Grand Warden
jenkins. On arrival of the Grand Officers
they were met by Grand Master Bruner
and C. w. Baker, D.D.G. Master of the
district, and the Committee of Arrange

to the Odd Fellows Temple, where they
were received by about three hundred
members OF the order, comprised of Dis

listened to with earnest attention, and at
the conclusion of the meeting Chairman
5. b. Smith of the committee invited all to
collation., which was INDUCED in to the
qualification of all present.
The order of Odd Fellows is an exceed

and comprises many of our best citizens,
who are ever ready to conform to its be-

and their joint meetings for the inter
change of friendly and fraternal relations

the afternoon there is a report at the sta
tion-house, and all officers on duty are re-
quired to put in an appearance at that hour
to get instruction from the Chief or Cap
tain. Immediately after this report the
officers are required to get back on their
beats. Now, for some of the officers to get
back to their beats they are compelled to
pass through the beats of another officer
Usually the officer on the downtown beat
walks from the station to the end of his
beat with an officer who has a beat beyond
This is the time when Humble Citizen"
sees the officers in pairs. There can be no
harm in this, as he would have one be-
lieve. And as far as their going in pairs is
concerned, think it would be we'll if the
officers could have time to meet and COM
pare notes, as it would enable them to aid
each other in detecting and ferreting out
criminals and criminal transactions.

COIOred Settlers.

A party of colored people numbering
forty arrived in this city yesterday morn
ing on the late southern train. They came
in charge of Rev. C. C. Pettey, of San Fran
cisco, who is using every effort to induce
colored settlers to come to Northern Cali
fornia. They are from North Carolina,
and made the trip here by the southern
route in eight days. They seem delighted
with the climate, and no doubt will be
pleased with their new home. They will
locate east of Anderson, in Shasta county.
Many more are on the way already, among
them prominent men from Georgia, who
intend to bring their families and settle
for good. This is but the beginning of
what promises to be big colony.

THE BoND-HoLDERs' WATER Works CASE
We publish this morning on another page
the full decision of the Supreme Court in
the case of Bates VS.. Porter, in which the
city of Sacramento is made to pay hereaf-
ter So per cent. of the gross receipts from
the Water Works into the sinking and
interest fund, for payment of the city debt,
instead of 55 per cent of the net receipts
The decision contains very complete his
tory of the legislation and transactions
concerning the city debt and will therefore
be of value to those who desire to be intel
ligent upon the subject.

Clunie Opera House.

1t is to be regretted, for the sake of the
reputation Of the community for musical
taste, that the fine concert by the
Austrian Hungarian Orchestra did not
draw a crowded house last night
i be audience was of good size and
fine judgment. but there should have been
such crowded auditorium that standing
room would have been at q premium. The
audience was enthusiastic in its applause
and called for the orchestra to repeat so
often that the programme was really
doubled by its readiness to respond to en-
cores. There are eleven performers in the
troupe and the instruments used are Hun
garian cymbal, organ, piano, bass VOL,
viola, three first and one second violin, flute
and piccOlo, clarionet and drums. The pro-
gramme was choice in every respect, and
possessed the virtue of great variety. The
entire performance was of the sort to satisfy
the exacting taste in style, and to
command respect from the severest judg-
ment of technique. The players constitute
a combination of forces that results in a
well-balanced musical body that does
equally well strong and delicate work.
The overture to William Tell and the flute
solo were the principal gems of the even
ing. 1t is not at all surprising that they
leu tile duuleuCo lIllO SuCn applause as Is
only seldom INDUCED. The precision, I'M
common spirit, judicious direction, and
sympathetic character of the playing were
excellences that even tyro in music could
not fail to observe in the Instrumentation
of this orchestra. Between parts one and
two Signor Carlo, in IA minutes and 40
seconds by the watch, painted landscape
in oil 34x40 inches in size, and it was
work of sufficient merit to bear exposure
to examination in the lobby at the
close of the concert. While he painted the
orchestra accompanied him, so to speak.
There will be a matinee concert at 2
o'clock to-day at twenty-five and fifty cents;
a third concert tonight, and final one to-
morrow night. The company returns to
Europe shortly. Signor Carlo announces
that the landscape painted last night and,
one shown at the door of the theater, will
be given away tonight at the concert, and
two others will be given away tomorrow

MILITARY NOTES.
The Late BaIl-A Rumor that Company
n


G is to Disband-Etc.
Nothing of moment TRANSFERRED in mill
tary circles the past week outside of the
review by the Governor and the brigade
dress parade Thursday evening. Governor
Waterman witnessed the review and COM
mented freely upon the appearance of the
men and the regimental armory. He ex-
pressed himself as being agreeably sur
prised with the comfortable manner in
which the companies are housed, and the
bearing of the men, and gave it as his opin-
ion that the State should own ali the arm
cries used by the National Guard. He also
praised the appearance Of the Cadets, and
stated that il was a good school for young
men, Companies B, E and g had lunch
in their armories during the evening for
their members and friends.
The quarters in the armory are too
crowded to conduct review properly.
Formation for dress parade looked well
and had a pleasing effect. The brigade
staff made their first appearance, and are
fine-looking set of officers, but little more
practice with the manual of the sword will
not hurt them. After the inspection of the
company armories by the Governor, Gen.
Orion and the officers of the brigade and
regiment, light lunch was partaken of in
the Cadets armory.
It is rumored that fifty or more of the
members of Company G will withdraw
from the company unless the medals which
they claim they have won fairly" are
given them These members had better
give this matter second thought, and not
disrupt one of the best companies in the
State on account of not receiving few
medals which are really of no intrinsic
value 1t is generally conceded that the
company is composed of the best shots in
the State, and this should suffice under the
circumstances.
The Inspector General of Rifle Practice
must be furnished with two copies of the
annual target practice, and the Captains of
companies will expedite matters by hav
ing duplicate copy made out lmmedi-
ately.
Majors Sherburn and White of the brig
ade staff, and Lieutenant Ormsby, of the

Major Welsh, Surgeon on the regimental
staff from Nevada City, was present at the
review with his wife.
The officers of Company c, of Nevada
City, will come down to-day and be exam
ined this evening.
This is the last day for monthly reports
of companies to reach brigade headquart-
ers. Not one has yet been received.
While all of the companies looked well
at the review and parade the other evening,
Company A was conspicuous among them
